The Cost of Being “The Dependable One”

Have you always been the strong one? The dependable one? The one everyone calls when their lives fall apart — even while yours is quietly unraveling?

In this raw style episode, Nervous System Whisperer + Venting Coach Jen Grove unpacks the hidden cost of being “the dependable one.” From personal stories to client breakthroughs, Jen dives into the ways constant dependability drains your body, erases your needs, and locks you into an identity that was never meant to be your whole truth.

Inside this somatic-rich session:
💔 The exhaustion + erasure behind the “strong one” role
🔥 Why your constant reliability might actually be rooted in fear
🌿 Somatic resets you can use in real time
💡 How to unsubscribe from the default savior role + reclaim your own presence
💌 Practices to let yourself be held without guilt

This isn’t another productivity pep talk. It’s an invitation to set the weight down, breathe deeper, and finally remember:

You’re not here to hold everything. You’re here to hold yourself.
